117 116 Sea Whale
While Blackbeard, Shirahoshi, and the Whale Sea King were talking.
King Neptune on the side was already dumbfounded.
Blackbeard and Shirahoshi can actually communicate with the Sea King?
And why does that huge sea king look so familiar? After a moment of thought, he suddenly exclaimed as he remembered.
"The King of the Sea Kings! You're the ruler of the Sea King species, the Sea Whale!"
"I didn't expect anyone to still recognize me now,"
The Sea Whale said, looking at King Neptune.
But King Neptune couldn't hear his voice. At that moment, Shirahoshi began to translate.
She relayed to King Neptune what the Sea Whale had just said.
King Neptune added, "I remember reading about the legend of Poseidon in a book before. Poseidon's mount was said to be a sea whale, but the whale described then wasn't as big as you."
His words made everyone present understand the identity of the Sea Whale.
It turned out that he was once the mount of the previous Poseidon!
The Sea Whale smiled upon hearing his words and continued, "The power of Poseidon isn't just about commanding the seas. The Poseidon power can even influence the size and power of sea creatures."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Blackbeard.
With just a glance, Blackbeard understood his meaning.
The Sea Whale was indicating that he wanted Blackbeard to ride on his back.
Blackbeard was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that, in the blink of an eye, the Sea Whale that was about hunting him down would now be willing to be his mount.
He covered his body with a layer of bubble coating and swam into the sea.
"You must be someone with fruit abilities, right? The previous Poseidon also had an ability, which was to nullify the Devil's Curse. When used on others, it would consume a lot of Poseidon's power. However, for oneself, it would directly remove the Devil's Curse and grant the ability to breathe underwater. There are many specific effects, and the power of Poseidon will undoubtedly change its user physique."
The Sea King said to Blackbeard.
Blackbeard's face became shocked when he heard it.
The power of Poseidon can actually nullify the Devil's Curse!
Seeing his expression, Gion, Burgess, Kuzan and Shiryu looked shocked.
"What did he say to Captain Blackbeard that shocked him so much?"
"It must be something extremely valuable..."
Gion also appeared puzzled.
"It's the first time I've seen the captain show such an expression,"
Shiryu remarked casually.
After a brief moment of shock, Blackbeard broke into a smile.
His only remaining weakness now is the curse from eating the Devil Fruit.
This curse forever prevents him from touching the sea
He just didn't expect that gaining the power of Poseidon could accidently eliminate the devil's curse.
After hearing the Sea Whale's words, Blackbeard tried to stretch out a hand and touched the seawater. To his surprise, he felt no discomfort or weak reaction in his body.
On the contrary, the surrounding seawater seemed to react to his presence.
Is this the activated power of Poseidon?
Shirahoshi, whose power of Poseidon has yet to awaken, wouldn't feel anything. Even if awakened, she wouldn't quickly master Poseidon's power. However, Blackbeard now directly possesses the ultimate power of Poseidon.
That's why he's experiencing this effect now.
No wonder even the Sea Whale willingly offered to be his mount.
Feeling the changes within himself, Blackbeard dispelled the coating and plunged his entire body into the sea.
"What is Captain Blackbeard doing? He's a Devil Fruit user!"
Burgess and Kuzan's eyes subconsciously turned towards Gion and Shiryu.
If Blackbeard sinks into the sea, they are the only two who haven't eaten the Devil Fruit and can rescue him.
"Look, Captain Blackbeard is fine!"
Shiryu exclaimed, dumbfounded.
At that moment, Blackbeard suddenly swam under their shocking eyes.
And he was moving at a fast pace, resembling a fish-man effortlessly swimming through the sea.
"How is that possible!"
Jinbei and the other fishman were shocked.
How could someone with Devil Fruit powers not fear the sea!
Even a fish-man who eats a Devil Fruit can't move in the sea.
Everyone's expressions resembled those who had seen a ghost.
"Captain Blackbeard not only possesses multiple Devil Fruit abilities, but he can also swim in the sea like a fish-man. What a monster!"
Burgess exclaimed, taking a deep breath.
That's right, Blackbeard can now swim like a fish-man in the sea. Not only is he fast, but he can also breathe underwater!
"Is this the power of Poseidon?"
Kuzan said with a dazed expression.
"He truly deserves the title of the ancient weapon Poseidon. This ability is truly terrifying. What about Pluton and Uranus, rumored to be even more terifying?"
When Shiryu thought of this, even a strong man like him couldn't help but shudder involuntarily.
"It seems Captain Blackbeard will soon be able to challenge the Celestial Dragons!"
Gion said excitedly. In this case, she can finally avenge her parents. She's been waiting for this day for a long time!
...
Blackbeard first got used to his current body in the sea.
Feeling the benefits brought by the power of Poseidon, his mood improved significantly.
Because he now feels the taste of invincibility.
At least it would be difficult for others to threaten him.
Then he stood on top of the Sea Whale.
Invisibly, he could feel the power of Poseidon coursing through his body.
Blackbeard knelt down and gently touched the whale with his hands.
As a result, a magical scene appeared!
The sea whale, which was larger than a fish-man island, was slowly shrinking in size.
Soon, it reached the size of an ordinary whale.
It's just that compared to ordinary whales, Sea Whales look more majestic, and they also bear unique markings on their bodies, signifying their extraordinariness.
"That's right! That's it!"
King Neptune exclaimed upon witnessing the changes in the Sea Whale.
The sight of Blackbeard standing on the Sea Whale before him perfectly matched the image he had seen in the book before.
It was just that the original image featured the Mermaid Princess instead of Blackbeard. Which looks strange!
"He actually mastered the power of Poseidon..."
Even though King Neptune was very reluctant in his heart, he still knelt down to the current Blackbeard.
"Poseidon! It's Poseidon!"
As he knelt, all the fish-men and mermaids across Fish-Man Island followed suit, kneeling down in reverence.
"Gulp..."
Burgess and the rest of Blackbeard's crew looked at the scene before them and swallowed hard.
At that moment, they all thought of four words: the King of the Sea!
Blackbeard is now the King of the Sea!
"Run! Run!"
Baron Tamagou and Pekoms, still on Noah's Ark, felt their bodies go cold, sweat beading on their palms.
The Four Emperors, Blackbeard, has gained the power of the Ancient Weapon: Poseidon!
They understood that this was enough to overturn the current delicate balance among the Four Emperors.
The world was about to undergo great changes once again!
